My husband owes about $7,000 in back child support. He just got a letter informing him that he now has a child suppot lien on his name. We don't know what that means. We are trying everything we can. Work is very slim here. What can he do?

That basically entitles the lienholder to go after his assets - bank accounts, tax returns, etc.

He should contact his local child support agency to work out a payment plan. Remember that paying less is better then not paying at all. My father got behind on his child support through out my child hood and got so over whelmed by it all that he just stopped paying it for a few years. I am 23 years old now and he is still paying back child support.
